The moment Nathan Lynch saw Renee Jennings, he ran over and grabbed her hand.
"Mom, are you okay? Was the watermelon juice too sweet?"
Renee Jennings snatched her hand back as if she'd been electrocuted.
Nathan Lynch looked aggrieved. "Mom, did I do something wrong to make you angry? Please don't be mad, okay? I really know I was wrong. Please don't be upset with me anymore..."
As he spoke, he reached up to wipe away tears.
Renee Jennings stared at him, stunned, her expression complex and unreadable.
Naomi Kenway watched from a distance, feeling a little relieved. 'Ever since I talked with Nathan Lynch last time, I can feel a change in him. He's finally not so passive and bullied when he faces Renee Jennings anymore.'
